Do you have an idea for a novel? Want to write short stories, or columns? We’re going to get to work! We’ll read, talk, share ideas, and pick up our pens.

How do you develop characters? How do you set up a story? How important is a plot? How do you make something personal but not private? How do you kill your darlings? How do you inspire yourself? These are all questions you run into when you write creatively.

Eva Posthuma de Boer shares her experiences, reads, assesses, gives assignments and tips.

Even before the master class begins, Eva will provide some writing assignments to the participants by email, so that once on the spot, they can get to work right away. At the end of the week you will be wiser, inspired and motivated to keep writing.

This Masterclass week will be concluded with a festive literary evening, with readings by the participants and the famous Pulp & Fiction quiz that Eva has organized for years at festival De Parade.
